Battery Life.

I see articles like this about the place, but I am having difficulty finding technical details about what Apple actually did. One of the heads on an IRC channel I hang out on said some guys reverse engineered the firmware on powerbooks and found that they were designed to kill the battery life prematurely, I am unable to find a good article on it. Does anyone have the full story.

Don't worry, I believe everything I read on IRC too.
